KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will offer motorsport fans an unprecedented opportunity: to watch Formula One teams training for the Malaysia Grand Prix for free.

SIC Chief Executive Officer Razlan Razali said visiting fans would be able to have a firsthand look at teams and their crew, setting up the cars for practice, on April 2, starting 5pm.

“We are expecting about 6,000 visitors to flood the SIC Circuit because a similar exercise for the MotoGP saw about 4,000 fans turning up,” he told reporters at the Classic Cars exhibition at the Pavilion shopping mall here.

Five classic F1 cars from the 1980s and 1990s would be displayed at the Pavilion until April 1 while the Malaysian GP is slated from April 2-4.

Razali added that SIC had also registered an increase of 20 per cent in ticket sales compared with the same period last year.

“This is a very encouraging development and I am confident the sales will increase to 30 per cent soon,” he said. — Bernama
